The dataset consists of a 10-year (2005–2014) meteorological record along the glacier centreline up to an upper glacier cirque, spanning an elevation difference of 900 m. We test the validity of on-glacier linear lapse rates, and a model that calculates Ta based on the influence of katabatic winds and other heat sources along the glacier flow line. During the coldest hours of each summer (10% of time), average lapse rates across the entire glacier range from −4.7 to −6.7°C km−1, with a strong relationship between Ta and elevation (R2 > 0.7). During warm conditions, Ta shows more complex, non-linear patterns that are better explained by the flow line-dependent model, reducing errors by up to 0.5°C compared with linear lapse rates, although more uncertainty might be associated with these observations due to occasionally poor sensor ventilation. We conclude that Ta spatial distribution can vary significantly from year to year, and from one glacier section to another. Importantly, extrapolations using linear lapse rates from the ablation zone might lead to large underestimations of Ta on the upper glacier areas.","lang":"eng"}],"doi":"10.1017/jog.2020.12","author":[{"last_name":"Troxler","first_name":"Patrick","full_name":"Troxler, Patrick"},{"first_name":"Álvaro","full_name":"Ayala, Álvaro","last_name":"Ayala"},{"last_name":"Shaw","first_name":"Thomas E.","full_name":"Shaw, Thomas E."},{"last_name":"Nolan","full_name":"Nolan, Matt","first_name":"Matt"},{"last_name":"Brock","full_name":"Brock, Ben W.","first_name":"Ben W."},{"first_name":"Francesca","full_name":"Pellicciotti, Francesca","id":"b28f055a-81ea-11ed-b70c-a9fe7f7b0e70","last_name":"Pellicciotti"}],"_id":"12597","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1727-5652"],"issn":["0022-1430"]},"volume":66,"date_updated":"2023-02-28T12:28:45Z","type":"journal_article","extern":"1"}
